Short summary
Elevation models are compared with a true dataset for terrain characteristics, which selects a better-ranking model to compare with different parameters to partition the terrain. The partitioning of the terrain is measured by how well a partitioned unit can support the mapped landslide area and number of landslides. The effect of this relationship is reflected with different metrics in the susceptibility maps.
